Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Advanced malignant disease (non-small cell lung cancer or malignant melanoma)
Group 1: Participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 9 weeks. FDG-PET/CT is also performed at baseline (0) and first follow-up (9) weeks scans, in addition to standard CT clinical imaging at 0, 9 and 18 weeks. Group 2: Participants with malignant melanoma (MM) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 12 weeks. FDG-PET/CT is also performed as standard clinical imaging at baseline (0), first follow-up (12) weeks and 24 weeks.
